where is your saliva samples being analyzed?

by Beyond Lab

it is clear that 23andme uses Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp) as its genotyping service lab with Illumina chips (arrays). --Beyond lab is wondering how much 23andme will pay LabCorp for each sample, how much is the chip and how much can they get from what customres pay. --This market is huge but is absolutely quantity-dependent. The more customers, the more profit. What will the customres get and how will the information help the customres? --that's something else.
